US media evaluates the top 5 positions in active service: Small forward James is the first, Rockets are selected, KD Curry is on the list

On August 15th, the league announced the schedules of each team today, and the US media predicted the results of each team in the new season. In the prediction, the Rockets ranked second in the West, second only to the Thunder, while the Warriors and the Lakers ranked sixth and seventh in the West, and they were not optimistic. Of course, this is understandable. After all, the main core is beginning to get old. However, among the top five active positions selected by the FW recently, James and Curry were selected. Let's take a look. Is it reasonable? The top five of the point guards are: 1 Alexander, 2 Doncic, 3 Curry, 4 Morant, 5 Cunningham. Alexander won MVP, FMVP and scored top last season, has already surpassed Doncic in terms of great honors, so he is no problem ranking first. Doncic is the best basketball-holding core in the current service. If it weren't for an injury, he would have been selected for the first team last season and has been selected for the first team five times so far in his career.

Although Curry has entered the end of his career, he is still the best scorer in the league. He ranked first in the league in three-point production last season, and his explosiveness in scoring is still outstanding. He may be the best in Janduku. To be honest, it is controversial that Morant has reached fourth place. After all, Brunson looks more worthy of being on the list. Morant has outstanding talent, but is prone to injury. His team-leading record in the playoffs is not ideal. Although Cunningham has just realized his talent, he is already very outstanding. The top five points guards are: 1 Edwards, 2 Booker, 3 Mitchell, 4 Jewish, 5 Amen Thompson. Edwards has led the team to the Western Conference Final for two consecutive seasons, and this is the West! Huazi is only 23 years old now and has a very rich offensive arsenal. He will still increase the ball in the new season, and the future ceiling may be the league's super scorer. Although Booker's focus on No. 1 position has brought him into question in the past two years, his mid-range distance is still the top-level active service.

Mitchell led the team first in the Eastern Conference last season. Mitchell's ability to lead the team has been underestimated. He has not missed the playoffs so far in his career, but his height of less than 1.9 meters will make him suffer a loss on the defensive end of the playoffs. Jewe is one of the best second-in-commands in the current service. He may leave Alexander to establish his own position in the future. The two play very similarly. Although Amen's offensive ability is not very good, his defense is great. He relies on his talent to enter the top five, which is indeed amazing.

Small forward

The top five small forwards are: 1 James, 2 Leonard, 3 Jaylen Brown, 4 Wagner Jr., and 5 Ingram. Tatum is injured, and there is no problem with James being ranked first. Although he will be 41 years old next season, he still has the top ten levels of the league last season. The ball quotient and skills are destined to be able to bring great help to the team. Although Leonard has no peak, his basic skills are still there and his offense and defense are still very dominant.

Jaylen Brown is the best among the players in the same position in physical fitness and athletic ability. He can only eat his opponents by relying on strength and speed, but his athletic ability is very limited, which also affects his ranking. Wagner Jr. is a Durant who has no shooting and has great damage with the ball. But to be honest, I think both him and Ingram should be behind Butler. It is really surprising that this list is not as good as Butler.

Power forward

Power forward's top five are: 1 Antetokounmpo, 2 Durant, 3 Banchero, 4 Sica, 5 Barnes. There is no doubt that Antetokounmpo is the number one power forward. He has now replaced Leonard and become the best player in active offense and defense, and his impact is terrifying, O'Neal in the small ball era. Although Durant is not at his peak, his skills are still there. He is still one of the most powerful singles players in the league in active duty, and his finishing efficiency is still very good. Although Banchero is only in his third year of his career, this person has shown good potential, has excellent scoring ability, and ignores the offensive environment on the offensive end. The star's temperament is also very good, and the future ceiling is worth looking forward to. Siakam proved himself in the playoffs last year that he was too versatile, able to score, defend and pass the ball. Barnes is the cornerstone of the Raptors now, a very all-round player, and his scoring ability will be improved in the future, and he will be even better.

Center

The top five centers are: 1 Jokic, 2 Wenbanyama, 3 Davis, 4 Downs, 5 Sabonis. Shin Kyung was still not selected, but it is acceptable to be selected by these people. After all, they are all excellent, and there is also Embiid who is not on the list! Jokic is the number one player in the active league, and there will be no controversy about him being ranked first. Wenban Yama may be a bit high. Although Wenban is talented, he is still far from the top stars. His defense is indeed strong, but his offense still needs to be polished.

The Eyebrow may return to the No. 4 position more after the start of the new season, which is also what Eyebrow hopes for, but if you want to return to the level of the championship season, regaining the feel of the outside line is the key. Although Towns has not become a top star, he is definitely one of the best second-in-commands in the service. He has outstanding shooting ability and is playing very hard now. Satsu is the best center in the organization besides Jokic. Having said that, what do you want to say about the ranking of US media this time? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
